I wake up, to another wasted day Somehow the hours just slip away I think it's Tuesday, but I don't know I want to leave, but have nowhere to go I've tried so hard to ease my mind Just don't have the energy, or the time The dreams I had, seem so far away Scarcely recall the happiness of yesterday My goals were all close enough to touch How did I get off track so much? Meaningless jobs, endless days, and sleepless nights Have become the routine of my joyless life But on this day I came to see the light Finally Knowing how to make it right Through the lies, I see truth at last Live for the future, not stuck in the past Things that have happened were beyond my control So today is the day I finally let go Tonight I will sleep like I haven't in years Without the weight of all my fears Life may never turn out like I had planned For whatever reasons, I will never understand But I'll look forward to every minute anyway Because I'd hate my life to end on another wasted day |

I like this very much... and wish you luck! |

I'm so glad you like it! I origanally wrote it for my roommate but now it feels like I wrote it about myself. Only when all hope seems lost, can you hope to find yourself |

Beckers716, This is the first poem of yours that I have had the opportunity to read. It is full of so many great lines, insights and truths that I could not pick out just one. I have come to believe that life just is and that to find any meaning, we must make life meaningfull. Yes, I don't think you're alone dear one. We all will continue to question now and then. Perhaps it's a way of keeping us in check and reminding us that we make the choices. Wishing you great joy! SG |
